Taylor today defended the FDA's sting operations and armed raids against raw milk producers, including Pennsylvania Amish farmer Dan Allgyer, who is facing an injunction for selling milk across state lines. None of Allgyer's milk was contaminated. The agency's actions are likely to put him out of business.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul has introduced legislation permitting raw milk producers to sell their product.

Corrigan, associate commissioner for regulatory affairs at the FDA. “FDA has warned the defendant on multiple occasions that introducing raw milk into interstate commerce is in violation of federal law.”
COUNTERPOINT: “Many Americans have done their own research and come to the conclusion that unpasteurized milk is healthier than pasteurized milk,” said Rep. Ron Paul, R-Lake Jackson. “These Americans have the right to consume these products without having the federal government second-guess their judgment or thwart their wishes.”]]>https://blog.chron.com/txpotomac/2011/05/a-raw-political-fight-ron-paul-battles-the-fda-over-allowing-americans-to-drink-raw-milk/feed/0
